Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

I've only eaten a bug once, but it was a little one and gave me no energy at all.

When I was in the Army out on bivouac once, a bug crawled way down into my ear and wouldn't come out. It was dark and I was reading in my shelter-half with a flashlight. It was QUITE annoying and nerve-wracking to have him in there flapping his wings and crawling around! ::shudder::
But I got wise and pointed the flashlight at my ear and it crawled right out. Still went to sick call, though. Wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to use a flush toilet.

I remember one recent ride I was on where a HUGE bug flew right down my top and got stuck in my sports bra. OMG I was wiggling trying to get the thing out. Finally I stopped and lifted my bra just a bit to free it. I didn't care about what anyone thought.
